I saw these at the office yesterday. They're really cool and BIG. They seem well made with each block reinforced with plastic grids. That's what the pegs fit into. They were easy to put together and get to fit.

Ummmm.... Why are the "Specs" & "In the box" measurements completely different?
Are the correct measurements of the blocks the "specs", or the "in the box" ??? Or neither?
And I was just about the click "complete order".

The measurements below are the number of nubs on the top and the size above are the actual dems of the blocks themselves. Hope that helps.

These are cooler... Seriously, why haven't giant building blocks caught on? I'd love to be able to build a utility shed and then tear it down and change the design if necessary. Think how it would change our construction practices!

The small block you linked to weighs over 3 pounds!

These blocks average less than 1/4 pound, based on a total weight of 30 pounds divided by 128 blocks.

They're the same. You'll see that "In the box" matches the Block Type in the Specs. Like Legos, the blocks are "named" by their pegs. So a 2x2 is a square block with two pegs by two pegs.
